The fixed 𝐣𝐨𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐲 package is in Ubuntu 12.04LTS "Precise"'s 𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒑𝒐𝒔𝒆𝒅 repo for almost one and half years! See: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/jockey I already tested 𝐣𝐨𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐲 from precise-proposed on linux-generic-lts- trusty on 3.13 kernel : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/precise/+source/jockey/+bug/1306928/comments/13 . Additionally @fourdollars and me tested it on linux-generic-lts-saucy 3.11 kernel too: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/precise/+source/jockey/+bug/1306928/comments/12 and https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/precise/+source/jockey/+bug/1306928/comments/6 So, I think all the necessary testing's been already done. Please consider releasing the new 𝐣𝐨𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐲 package to precise updates and close this bug. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1306928 Title: Broadcom STA driver gets autoinstalled on BCM4313, where it's no longer needed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-drivers-common/+bug/1306928/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1306928] Re: Broadcom STA driver gets autoinstalled on BCM4313, where it's no longer needed
This bug was fixed in the package ubuntu-drivers-common - 1:0.2.91.6 --- ubuntu-drivers-common (1:0.2.91.6) trusty-proposed; urgency=medium * UbuntuDrivers/detect.py, debian/tests/system, tests/ubuntu_drivers.py: - Do not autoinstall the broadcom driver. The open driver should be a better solution now (LP: #1306928), as the binary driver prevents a number of systems from using the wireless card. - Autoinstall linux-firmware-nonfree. This will help now that we no longer autoinstall Broadcom's binary driver. - Fix the relevant tests now that linux-firmware-nonfree has replaced bcmwl. * gpu-manager.c, tests/gpu-manager.py: - Ignore CRT displays when using PRIME. This works around systems whose BIOS provides a ghost output (LP: #1296020). - Check that we don't remove xorg.confs on 1st boot (as per the previous SRU). - Try harder when loading bbswitch (LP: #1310023). If loading bbswitch fails try with or without the "skip_optimus_dsm=1" option. Also, make sure that we trim dmi resources or matching will give us false positives. - Switch to intel/SNA for optimus systems (LP: #1326257). - Make sure to unload nvidia-uvm or nvidia won't be unloaded. - Make sure to walk properly the /dev/dri dir. This prevents the program from stopping when, for example /dev/dri/card1 is available while /dev/dri/card0 is not. -- Alberto MiloneFri, 06 Jun 2014 11:20:28 +0200 ** Changed in: ubuntu-drivers-common (Ubuntu Trusty) Status: Fix Committed => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1306928 Title: Broadcom STA driver gets autoinstalled on BCM4313, where it's no longer needed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/jockey/+bug/1306928/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

@bryandeng Ubuntu 14.04 uses the package 'ubuntu-drivers-common' instead of 12.04's 'jockey'. That is why jockey and 'ubuntu-drivers-common' are marked invalid for Trusty and Precise respectively. You shouldn't have changed it. I'm also using BCM4313 which from 3.10 kernel onwards works better with the open source brcmsmac driver in kernel. No need to install 'linux-firmware-nonfree'.

I didn't install linux-generic-lts-trusty as instructed in the SRU test case coz brcmsmac works good for all kernels above v3.10 which includes the saucy kernel too.

[Bug 1306928] Re: Broadcom STA driver gets autoinstalled on BCM4313, where it's no longer needed
On 14.04 we need to manually remove bcmwl-kernel-source, and use brcmsmac. Just for informations : Remove bcmwl and install linux-firmware-nonfree : sudo apt-get purge bcmwl-kernel-source sudo apt-get install linux-firmware-nonfree Then you need to blacklist b43 and wl : echo "blacklist b43" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf echo "blacklist wl" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf sudo modprobe -r b43 wl brcmsmac sudo modprobe brcmsmac And reboot. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1306928 Title: Broadcom STA driver gets autoinstalled on BCM4313, where it's no longer needed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/jockey/+bug/1306928/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1306928] Re: Broadcom STA driver gets autoinstalled on BCM4313, where it's no longer needed
@Shih-Yuan Lee Your BCM4321 (14e4:4328) also used bcmwl-kernel-source in kernels before 3.11, but now works better with linux-firmware-nonfree. I found this in http://askubuntu.com/questions/55868/how-to-install- broadcom-wireless-drivers-bcm43xx/60395#60395. That post is kinda a one stop place for everything on Broadcom driver installation in Linux. I wish the Broadcom guys did a more complete listing of cards and drivers for Linux. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1306928 Title: Broadcom STA driver gets autoinstalled on BCM4313, where it's no longer needed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/jockey/+bug/1306928/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

BTW, `ubuntu-drivers list` can also find linux-firmware-nonfree.

[Bug 1306928] Re: Broadcom STA driver gets autoinstalled on BCM4313, where it's no longer needed
In my case, I need to install linux-firmware-nonfree instead of bcmwl-kernel-source to enable the WiFi. http://paste.ubuntu.com/7320852/ is the output of dmesg, and it is why I know linux-firmware-nonfree can fix my problem. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1306928 Title: Broadcom STA driver gets autoinstalled on BCM4313, where it's no longer needed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/jockey/+bug/1306928/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1306928] Re: Broadcom STA driver gets autoinstalled on BCM4313, where it's no longer needed
** Description changed: - The propreitory driver Broadcom STA (packaged as 'bcmwl-kernel-source', provides 'wl' kernel module) gets autoinstalled upon Ubuntu 12.04.4 installation on systems with Broadcom BCM4313 (14e4:4727) wireless cards. Upto Ubuntu 12.04.3 with 3.8 kernel, this was good behaviour. But, with 3.11 kernel used in Ubuntu 13.10 and Ubuntu 12.04.4, the official open source 'brcmsmac' driver had improved (with the newly implemented AdHoc and AP mode, and other improvements) over propreitory 'wl'. On newer kernel versions, 'brcmsmac' works better than 'wl'. - Autoinstalling the 'wl' driver would actually be a "downgrade" of functionality. I understand that there are some cards work only with 'wl', but it's better not to do autoinstall of 'bcmwl-kernel-source' on the ones supported by 'brcmsmac'. It maybe offered on the jockey Additional Drivers list, though I don't see any reason why anyone would prefer 'wl' over 'brcmsmac' now. I don't know if this issue remains on Ubuntu 14.04LTS's jockey merged with 'ubuntu-drivers' package. But, if it does that has to be fixed too. I hope this issue is fixed soon, so that Ubuntu 12.04.5 is released with the fixed jockey. + SRU request: + + Please accept jockey_0.9.7-0ubuntu7.15 into precise-proposed. + + [Impact] + + Kernel versions higher than 3.11 ship with a good open replacement for + the proprietary driver, which seems to work on many systems that were + quietly dropped by the proprietary driver.
